good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try. Morris Chestnut I am sorry to say that sometimes matters of very small importance waste a good deal of precious time, by the long and repeated speeches and chicanery of gentlemen who will not wholly throw off the lawyer even in Congress. William Whipple I'm in total sympathy with Dick Smith's sentiments; I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name. Hugh Mackay If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state. Cate Blanchett A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him. Samue...

fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake. Gerry Cooney Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects. Ellsworth Huntington Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business. Warren Spahn It is certain that the study of human psychology, if it were undertaken exclusively in prisons, would also lead to misrepresentation and absurd generalizations. Jacques Yves Cousteau Visible Faith is an expression of my Christian faith which must be visible to be real! I gave the name to the collection of musicians who worked with me on the record. Ken Hensley Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind oc...

on, from around the world, have called me over the years - and now again because of what happened - and they are all very cynical about the police and the authorities. Ernst Zundel Moral habits, induced by public practices, are far quicker in making their way into men's private lives, than the failings and faults of individuals are in infecting the city at large. Plutarch At the very top state institutions, like UCLA, Berkeley and the University of Texas, however, the trend of downward minority enrollment remains persistent and discouraging. Adam Schiff It seems to me morally a decent society will try to take some of the increased benefit and use that to alleviate the pain of the few who are bearing the cost that made it possible. Tim Bishop Thought is a kind of opium; it can intoxicate us, while still broad awake; it can make transparent the mountains and everything that exists. Henri Frederic Amiel Washington and the elder Napoleon. Both were brave men; both were t...

high-quality medical treatment, and I supported enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act. Sue Kelly It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it. Owen Wilson I've always traveled, as a kid my parents moved me around, a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid, living in different countries. Dominic Monaghan Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact. Roland Allen And were an epitaph to be my story I'd have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world. Robert Frost It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never a...

streams, or creep on rocks or roll from the sea. I am entranced by the mystery of them, and absorbed by their variety and kinds. Everywhere they are visible yet everywhere occult. Liberty Hyde Bailey A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess. A. Philip Randolph I read all these stories that I don't know anything about politics. But I must know something. I've had some good victories in Congress, and I've survived this town for four years. Donald T. Regan Psychology is still trying to explain the perception of the position of an object in space, along with its shape, size, and so on, and to understand the sensations of color. James J. Gibson All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. Immanuel Kant Wives are people who feel they don't dance ...

in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation. Salvador Dali Western society has many flaws, and it is good for an educated person to have thought some of these through, even at the expense of losing a lecture or two to tear gas. Robert B. Laughlin As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am. George Benson Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write. Kazuo Ishiguro Everything we did was criticized. For about thirty years we lived with the world against us, accusing us of things we didn't do! Ian Smith The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and i...

It would be quite possible to build automobiles out of carbon fibre that would be just as strong, weigh 10 times less and consume 10 times less petrol. Susan George I always felt like something of an outsider. But I identified with people up on the screen. That made me feel like I wanted to be up on the screen too. I felt like eventually I would get there. Luke Perry Towards the end it got really rough. I take my hat of to Alice, he's still doing it. This is probably more work than going on the road for 2-3 months. I wish I was 25 again! Michael Owen Bruce Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be. Mahatma Gandhi I'm sick of all these knights in shining armor parts, I want to do something worthwhile like plays and films that have something to say. Tyrone Power In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'. Theodor Adorno I...

ugly, hateful acts particularly stain the character of democracies where liberty and religious freedom are supposed to be respected. Mike Ferguson For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids. David Duchovny Nations without a past are contradictions in terms. What makes a nation is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past, and historians are the people who produce it. Eric Hobsbawm Whether it was working on theatre sets or stage lighting, I didn't realize most all of the skills I was exposed to were going to come in handy later on when I became a designer. Douglas Wilson Failing to be there when a man wants her is the greatest sin a woman can commit - except being there when he doesn't want her. Helen Rowland Would that we could at once paint with the eyes! In the long way from the eye through the arm ...

to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans. Marian Wright Edelman To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. e. e. cummings More varied than any landscape was the landscape in the sky, with islands of gold and silver, peninsulas of apricot and rose against a background of many shades of turquoise and azure. Cecil Beaton I believe the challenge the city faces is attracting continued development into the inner and western part of Jersey City. Nobody should be left behind as Jersey City continues to prosper and grow. Vincent Frank Sooner or later the Internet will become profitable. It's an old story played before by canals, railroads and automobiles. Paul Samuelson I find writing songs hard, because it does not come n...

have proved their worth. After all, the average playing life of a pro football player is about eight years and it is only fitting that the veterans get something for their efforts. Bob Lilly When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country. Noah Webster By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion. John Acton If we follow the traditional way of thought, there will always be traditional enemies. Extremist circles from both sides will find causes to give rise to problems. Fatos Nano We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate. George William Russell Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, ...

earth where the graves laugh when they see their guests, the one corpse stacked on top of the other. Go now and stagger to her whom I do not know. Hugo Claus They had me on the operating table all day. They looked into my stomach, my gall bladder, they examined everything inside of me. Know what they decided? I need glasses. Joe E. Lewis However, yes, especially as one gets older, you know, you really hope that your music will become more generally available, even though some of the performances might be riddled with faults. John Eaton I've spent so much time the last seven, eight years in Los Angeles, away from my family, away from my friends, away from the city that is my favourite place to be and I just want to come here and have a proper life. Nicholas Lea It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him. Max Planck I try not to drink too much because when I'm drunk, I ...

obviously can't. The good thing is, they're really good about inviting me to all the football games and all that stuff. So I end up having an adopted team spirit for a school I don't go to. David Gallagher Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are. Jan Peter Balkenende Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error. Andrew Jackson There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music. Daisy Berkowitz Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. ...

and interests of the vast number of developing countries including China and India and promote the establishment of a just and equitable new international political and economic order. Li Peng First we attacked the Russian soldiers with our gases, and then when we saw the poor fellows lying there, dying slowly, we tried to make breathing easier for them by using our own life-saving devices on them. Otto Hahn There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection. H. G. Wells Do you know what directors go through? It's just hell. Like, why do I work so hard - to think I'm only going to see this movie five times and then never see it again 'cause I'm so sick of it? What is it worth, honestly? Michael Bay Do not forget that the Arab countries, starting with Algeria and Egypt, are the ones that have paid the heaviest toll because of Is...

I know that the term impeachment was bandied about. I do not believe, however, that the word was used with the ferocity it was more recently or that it was in the Nixon years. Fred F. Fielding We don't attempt to have any theme for a number of the anthology, or to have any particular sequence. We just put in things that we like, and then we try to alternate the prose and the poetry. James Laughlin When people come to me and tell me I was terrific in this or that, I do not want to fall flat on my face the next time. But, tough, I have fallen flat before. You just get up and dust yourself off. Geoffrey Rush The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end. Charles Caleb Colton I think that's what makes life interesting - the evolution of getting older, and it's kinda fascinating to me, the whole process. Alexis Bledel In a single moment, we w...

as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge. Adlai Stevenson Although our war on drugs must be fortified with the best laws, enforcement efforts and resources, we would not be successful without your individual commitment to this cause. Mel Carnahan One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny. Bertrand Russell I don't start with a design objective, I start with a communication objective. I feel my project is successful if it communicates what it is supposed to communicate. Mike Davidson We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity. Barbara De Angelis The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be f...

It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military. James Patterson Sensitive, responsive, eagerly welcomed everywhere, the drama, holding the mirror up to nature, by laughter and by tears reveals to mankind the world of men. George Pierce Baker It's hard and sometimes it's scary. It still amazes my mother. I went home for Christmas one year and there were fans all over the front lawn, hoping to see me. Luke Perry There are moments when the body is as numinous as words, days that are the good flesh continuing. Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings, saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry. Robert Hass The reason there weren't any, I am surmising, is that a lot of Latin kids, Latino kids, in those days didn't have the money to take those kind of classes. Rita Moreno People blame me because these water mains break, but I ask you, if the water mains didn't break, would it be my responsi...

high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life. Nam June Paik If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains. Marcus Tullius Cicero A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off, roused me into productivity and creativity. Mary Garden It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour. George Gurdjieff The human heart dares not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making. Lillian Smith Scientists often have a naive faith that if only they could discover enough fa...

sort of ever got into that. As time passes, maybe I should record it and put it in a vault so that when I get a little old don't have the energy I can remember how life used to be. Jeremy Irons You can sell nothing for a mark-up for a while, but only until something starts eating away at it. Now I can go home and click on Yahoo, call my sister and talk over a microphone for free. Michael K. Powell If mathematics is to be understood widely, we need to emphasise its elegance and its applications. Sometimes it seems that universities want to emphasise how difficult it is! Johnny Ball It is extremely important that mass media, having freed from the relics of the Cold War, served for peace and dialogue between nations and religions, the rich and the poor, countries and continents. Nursultan Nazarbayev You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character. Julie Benz When you make your peace with authorit...

who know the Bible and take it literally will know that, seven years later, Christ is going to come in His power and glory. Tim LaHaye Every bit of money that we can bring from our federal transportation budget in Washington back here to Stewart Airport will benefit our local economy and our local residents. Sue Kelly When a pianist sits down and does a virtuoso performance he is in a technical sense transmitting more information to a machine than any other human activity involving machinery allows. Robert Moog But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence. Vernor Vinge We shall all respect the principles of each other and do nothing that would be regarded as an act of oppression to any portion of the people. Alexander Mackenzie Nothing proves that we are more than nothing. Emile M. Cioran L.A. is my American city. Tom Ford I am the kind of writer th...

house, thinking up this wild, crazy stuff as to how it's going to go, and the other guys are sitting at their houses doing the same thing. Bill Walton I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer. Richard Branson Now being upon the haunches (as he necessarily must be in this case) is it impossible but he must be light in hand, because no horse can be rightly upon his haunches without being so. William Cavendish In 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which, as any American high school student can tell you, was an act that apparently had something to do with stamps. Dave Barry The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left. Alexander Pope I can't on my own ch...

primitive church was received, the apostles at first delivered orally, without writing, but later, not by any human counsel but by the will of God, they handed it on in the Scriptures. Martin Chemnitz It is longstanding U.S. policy that we will talk to the Iranians anytime, anywhere, on any subject, with no preconditions. So far, they have not taken us up on our offer. Howard Berman We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it. Mahatma Gandhi I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous. David Walliams Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. Mary McLeod Bethune It really comes down to the fact that, because I was perceived as a bad gu...

you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism. Sam Shepard After Richmond, we went to Dover and tested that week at Kentucky. I was going to Dover and we had to get the trainer to meet us at the airport. I had to do some therapy on my ribs they hurt so bad. Sterling Marlin I was worried in the '80s that the best abstract painting had become obsessed with materiality, and painterly gestures and materiality were up against the wall. Frank Stella I have a condition called Aspergers Syndrome, which is like a mild form of autism It means I don't interact properly in certain social situations. Gary Numan There's nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you're gonna eat it. Jack Black You know, when you've established a certain thing, what can you do? You're...

there - from tax policy, to foreign policy; from individual rights, to neighborhood security - are things that Jefferson Davis and his people believed in. Trent Lott A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out. Cyril Connolly Our deep respect for the land and its harvest is the legacy of generations of farmers who put food on our tables, preserved our landscape, and inspired us with a powerful work ethic. James H. Douglas, Jr. For a traveler going from any place toward the north, that pole of the daily rotation gradually climbs higher, while the opposite pole drops down an equal amount. Nicolaus Copernicus Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale. Zig Ziglar I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy m...

are watching, we should concentrate on trying to reduce the total amount of time they spend in front of the screen. Hugh Mackay At its best, entertainment is going to be a subjective thing that can't win for everyone, while at worst, a particular game just becomes a random symbol for petty tribal behavior. John Carmack We wanted to meet him, for though we were neither of us naive people we had not wholly lost our belief that it is delightful to meet artists who have given us pleasure. Robertson Davies Because of new technologies, new wealth, new conditions of domestic life and of international relations, unprecedented criteria and issues are coming up for national decision. Herman Kahn It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature. Albert Einstein So here we are, just two months away from the election, with more and more examples that modern day Jim Crowe laws are ...

behold all God has made; if he shall own me for his son and exalt me to honor in his presence, I shall not fear to die, nor shall I dread the grave where Christ once lay. Matthew Simpson Everything depends on a good job - strong families, strong communities, the pursuit of the American dream, and a tax base to support schools for our kids and services for our seniors. Bob Taft In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. Albert Einstein So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place! Billy Sherwood Having embraced Islam, I felt as if I were born again. I found in Islam the answers to those queries which I had failed to find in Christianity. Jermaine Jackson The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin. Lucius Annae...

Whose collected works would always be under my pillow if I was only ever allowed one book to keep, and who never bores me. Samuel West When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense. Josh Lucas Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic. Indira Gandhi I remember coming to this college in the 1960s as a new legislator when a road divided the campus - and it was not fully paved at that - and no wall defined the campus from the highway. Michael N. Castle Looks are temporary and don't mirror what's inside. And usually, a great looking man is so vain. Maybe most good-looking women are too. I hope I'm not! Dorothy Stratten When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed. Horace Unfortunately, a lot ...

would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services. Corazon Aquino Revolutions require work, revolutions require sacrifice, revolutions, and our own included, require a certain amount of rationing, a certain amount of calluses, a certain amount of sacrifice. Lee Harvey Oswald I speak for a lot of church groups, youth groups, schools, colleges and do personal appearances. I've done conventions and trade shows. A lot of different little hats. Donna Douglas Religious tolerance is something we should all practice; however, there have been more persecution and atrocities committed in the name of religion and religious freedom than anything else. Walter Koenig There is nothing wrong with wanting pay for work, or seeking to maximize one's income, as long as one does not use means that are destructive. Richard Stallman Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try o...

in the business for 40 years now. I take good advice and direction really well, but I don't need somebody that finished college two years ago to come in and tell me what I should be recording. Charlie Daniels While I have some regrets that this is my last opportunity to deliver a State of the State address, I appreciate and am humbled by the opportunities this great state has given me. Jane D. Hull One of the things that happens in the business is that success is a very strange thing in that if you are involved in something very successful the next person wants you to repeat it. Elmer Bernstein What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are. Tony Robbins And all men are ready to pass judgement on the priest as if he was not a being clothed with flesh, or one who inherited a human nature. John Chrysostom One thing I never want to be accused of ...

films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing. Brian Austin Green I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments. Daniel Radcliffe The only thing I wish I had kept were all the peace beads, because in the 1960s people made these and hung them at protests and it was a wonderful thing. David Selby We are given to the cult of personality; when things go badly we look to some messiah to save us. If by chance we think we have found one, it will not be long before we destroy him. Constantine Karamanlis I was slightly disappointed, but also encouraged, because I put myself in position to win a major, which is all even Tiger says he tries to do. Stuart Appleby Maybe if I could ever be a successful comedian then I could be an example that Ch...

your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top. Bob Richards And for well over a hundred years our politicians, statesmen, and people remembered that this was a republic, not a democracy, and knew what they meant when they made that distinction. Robert W. Welch, Jr. The need for improved technical support in schools has expanded as the Government and schools have increased their investment in information and communications technologies. Estelle Morris Indeed, we must foster cost-saving competition. And that means joining the marketplace of other industrialized countries - not just for the manufacturers who sell drugs, but for consumers as well. Olympia Snowe There are few things more amusing in the world of politics than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory. Mario Cuomo Reason is an action of the mind; knowledge is a possession of th...

the people of this country will regard it as a total demonetization of silver, which it will be, so far as this Congress is concerned, without any question. Richard Parks Bland Fashion is entertainment. That's why these top models are so fascinating to kids. They're dying to know about Naomi and Christy, or whoever we've declared the new one this afternoon. Carrie Donovan The highest grossing films have great, moral messages - not dirty, base themes, so we're trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies. Morgan Brittany Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success. Pablo Picasso Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved. Alan Keyes College had little effect on me. I'd have been the same writer if I'd gone to MIT...

the way you would like to be perceived, so I think that through the years I've worked really hard at trying to create an image that is true to me. Kristanna Loken It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played. Ludwig Wittgenstein Never having played Chess before, it was most interesting to be playing the game with no pieces in front of me. But I still knew how to stroke my hair when I won. Peter Mayhew Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games. Cleo Moore I have said it often and I will say it again: I believe you learn to read when you are young, then read to learn for the rest of your life. Ruth Ann Minner There are a few very small incompatible changes - I really doubt most people will ever run into them. Stephen Wolfram Society is no...

dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age. John Agyekum Kufuor To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. Elliott Erwitt It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed. Walter Benjamin It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive. James A. Baldwin It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again. Charles Kettering Total loyalty is possible only when...

knew as I did not the value of security won, the slender chance of replacing it if lost or abandoned, was against me. Ida Tarbell Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy its glories. Brigham Young We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that's what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate. Emeril Lagasse Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, whether you are a liberal or a conservative, we know that neither this President nor prior Presidents of both parties did everything right or we would not have had a 9/11. Chuck Schumer Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. Margaret Young Those who are critical of Alliance are the same people who have d...

are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe. Edwin Powell Hubble While all of these are important and significant events, it is the United States' foreign policy that furthers the advancement of freedoms and rights for women that is the most striking for me. Ginny Brown-Waite It is not her body that he wants but it is only through her body that he can take possession of another human being, so he must labor upon her body, he must enter her body, to make his claim. Joyce Carol Oates When love is gone, there's always justice. And when justice is gone, there's always force. And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi, Mom! Laurie Anderson I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead. Gilbert K. Chesterton From your conf...

universal. New: that which is unforeseen by the order of creation. Universal: that which can interest, rightly, every human individual, according to his pure humanity. Alain Badiou There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different and yet they are the same. The success has this over his rivals: He knows where he is going. Mark Caine As soon as one nation claims the right to take preventive action, other countries will naturally do the same. If we go down that road, where are we going? Jacques Chirac In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home. Emma Goldman Chess for me is not a game, but an art. Yes, and I take upon myself all those responsibilities which an art imposes on its adherents. Alexander Alekhine Certainly if we hope do enhance and extend whatever natural assets we were given, we m...

transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind? Maria Montessori I have thought about it a great deal, and the more I think, the more certain I am that obedience is the gateway through which knowledge, yes, and love, too, enter the mind of the child. Anne Sullivan You are almost not free, if you are teaching a group of graduate students, to become friends with one of them. I don't mean anything erotically charged, just a friendship. Marilyn Hacker We hear foreign accents on CNN. It's crazy, it's wild, who knows, maybe they'll take you because you certainly don't fit in, in the American spectrum of news. Christiane Amanpour Also the fact that anything he does is seen and heard by the entire country, not just his actual audience or those who live in the region he happens to be in. Robert Teeter On some...

generation's part in it. We had spent our early years as privileged members of a privileged class. How were we faring in the Age of the Common Man? How ought we to be faring? Simon Raven When I was pregnant, I felt filled with life, and I felt really happy. I ate well, and I slept well. I felt much more useful than I'd ever felt before. Suzanne Vega I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema. Lars von Trier The supernatural birth of Christ, his miracles, his resurrection and ascension, remain eternal truths, whatever doubts may be cast on their reality as historical facts. David Friedrich Strauss And I always read the English translation and always have conversations with my translator, for example about the names. I always have to approve it. Cornelia Funke Beware of the naked man who offers you his shirt. Nav...

of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up. Charles Morgan A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train. Phyllis McGinley I can't live without my beauty products. I love to be in my bathroom with my candles lit, morning, noon and night. I like taking hot baths and hot showers, using my body scrubs and lotions. Traci Bingham No matter what name we give it or how we judge it, a candidate's character is central to political reporting because it is central to a citizen's decision in voting. Roger Mudd But I think funny and talent will always win out; I mean, of course there are hurdles, but I think if you're funny you will get over all of that. Wanda Sykes I met an American woman and got married so I had to get ...

there's nothing wrong with a bud or two! I still do a bit of this and a bit of that. Some brews and there's nothing wrong with a bud or two! Eddie Money If I were to say, 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said, 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life. Arthur Ashe We played a gig and we had a song that was offensive to people of the Jewish persuasion, and we led off with it, and they were offended by it, and that was that. Santiago Durango I was influenced by surrealist poetry and painting as were thousands of other people, and it seems to me to have become a part of the way I write, but it's not. Kenneth Koch If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I'd still swim. And I'd despise the one who gave up. Abraham Maslow I am interested in the art. I'm a professional woman. Claire Bloom Competence, like truth, beauty, and contact l...

that department, but I think it's one of the few worthwhile human experiences. It's cooler than anything I can think of right now. Trent Reznor The fact is, beneath the hype, Iraqis will soon appreciate American help and idealism far more than French perfidy. It is never wrong to be on the side of freedom - never. Victor Davis Hanson I genuinely don't know how many albums I'm going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don't know how many fans I've actually got at the moment. Gary Numan I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Benjamin Banneker It is incumbent on us to facilitate the development of a market structure that best assures that these changes benefit the U.S. securities markets as a whole. Arthur Levitt Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up. Brigham Y...

of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with information. Norbert Wiener Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. Golda Meir Comedians walk out, get a feel for the crowd. If it's not going good, we change directions. If we got to drag your momma into this thing, we will. Whatever we got to do. Steve Harvey Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were from poverty unable to educate him to the art of war, was readily received. Horatio Alger Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. Bruce Dickinson It's much easier to...

drag queens, models, bikers, freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment. Liv Tyler They say now in America that final cut doesn't mean anything. As Harvey Weinstein said to some film-maker, 'You can have final cut. I'll open your film in Arkansas.' Mira Nair The budget does not adequately fund important domestic programs, promotes tax cuts to the detriment of other priorities and does little to put our nation's fiscal house in order. Jim Jeffords The accumulation of numbers always augments in some measure moral corruptions, and the consequences to health of the various vices incident thereto, are well known. William Falconer God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of a cross when I walk out on to the pitch. I feel I would be betraying him if I didn't. Diego Maradona No, there are some location shoots in Vegas, maybe four trips a year. It's shot in Santa Clarita, CA. George Eads Well, l...

for Nationals in January. I'm usually at the rink from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week. Sasha Cohen I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while. Sebastian Bach An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint. Ben Shahn I have grown up but that should be a positive thing. When you look at a photo album it's lovely to remember being so young but it's also good to know you grew up! Jenny Agutter A neurotic can perfectly well be a literary genius, but his greatest danger is always that he will not recognize when he is dull. Louis Auchincloss There's nothing bad that accrues from baseball. A. Bartlett Giamatti Every crowd has a silver lining. P. T. Barnum Set me a tas...

their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves - so how can we know anyone else? Sydney J. Harris One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so. Christine Gregoire We are justified in enforcing good morals, for they belong to all mankind; but we are not justified in enforcing good manners, for good manners always mean our own manners. Gilbert K. Chesterton I remember very clearly at the first budget review having a pretty direct conversation with the head of manufacturing... We began to get huge improvements in productivity and responsiveness. I got a chance to see that firsthand. Rick Wagoner I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose. Virginia Woolf There is nothing better than playing a...

We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn't want to go on! Robert Plant I didn't know what to expect from a famous movie star; maybe that he'd be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much... that I had a hard time painting him. Norman Rockwell I don't think of them as teenage songs. The things that happen to you in high school are the same things that happen your entire life. You can fall in love at 60; you can get rejected at 80. Mark Hoppus It's probably fair to say that the ratio of time our Connector developers spend in the debugger versus the Emacs buffer is higher than with most software. Nat Friedman I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said. Alan Greenspan The writers want to know were you made your mistake, no how well your curve is breaking. Alvi...

like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one. Gerry Cooney I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on. Samuel Goldwyn To add to our misery and despair, a bloated aristocracy has sent to China - the greatest and oldest despotism in the world - for a cheap working slave. Denis Kearney In particular, I established a reasonably accurate energy threshold for permanent displacement of a nucleus from its regular lattice position, substantially smaller than had been previously presumed. Walter Kohn There is a Canadian culture that is in some ways unique to Canada, but I don't think Canadian culture coincides neatly with borders. Stephen Harper The best thing about Sci-Fi, which is my favorite genre, is that there are no rules for behavi...

not just its direct national interest but its broader interests as a nation which has thought of itself as a beacon to other nations, of freedom, liberty, democracy, whatever. John Pomfret The main problem was a pacing problem. I had wanted the project to be about 20-30 issues, and I should have written it out as a full script beforehand. Chester Brown The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending. Igor Stravinsky We train in the mornings, and then I go home and rest or sleep, and usually I go for a meal with Abel of a night, as we're the two with no family here, so we tend to hang around together. Richard Gough Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end. Henry Kissinger All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul. Alexander Pope I fi...

Pete Seeger Under the benignant providence of Almighty God the representatives of the States and of the people are again brought together to deliberate for the public good. James K. Polk I enjoyed growing up part of my life in Virginia Beach. We had the ocean and the beach and a beautiful landscape. We were outdoors all the time and we played outside. Mark Ruffalo If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City, I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone. Dante Hall The honors of this world, what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling? Saint Augusti...

and ugly, and that there is nothing glamorous or heroic about it. There are heroes, but the causes are never heroic. Anthony Minghella Even the recognition of an individual whom we see every day is only possible as the result of an abstract idea of him formed by generalization from his appearances in the past. James G. Frazer I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany. David Clennon Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us - never cease to instruct - never cloy. Charles Caleb Colton Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time. Steven Biko The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die. Edward Ke...

on the protection of the rights of people who work in the fields of our country, in the factories of our country, in the offices of our country. Ed Markey No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings. Peter Drucker And I haven't met too many actors along the way that haven't told me how much the show has meant to them. It's one of the reasons they say they are doing what they're doing, today. David Selby The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only. Joseph Wood Krutch When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, Wretched, bored, dejected; only here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you're near.

thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside. Henri Bergson We've got horse property and there's other stuff to do. Like, four wheel driving, we barbeque, drink beers, sit around and play guitars and have a merry 'ol time. Lita Ford The Republican National Committee hired me, and they hired me because they wanted someone who could look members straight in the eye and tell them the truth. Frank Luntz According to a study by Achieve Incorporated, Texas is the first state to make a college-prep curriculum the standard coursework in high school, starting with this year's ninth grade class. Rick Perry I do small cameos here and there but nothing that requires more than a paragraph of talking, because I'm just an amateur. The movie is a whole different reality. Richard Price My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Juli...

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin...

role, and a once in a lifetime film. It was made with so much care and passion and meticulous detail and everybody was so behind it. Sean Bean Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion. Jeremy Taylor I never feel that my music is sparse or minimalist; the way fat people never really think they're fat. I certainly don't consider myself minimalist at all. Morton Feldman I thought that if you come across as a freak, there will be some kind of distance. Maybe the distance became excessive. I realized that people were afraid of me without knowing me. Thomas Kretschmann It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. James Madison I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles. Cole Porter War is the business of barbarians. Napoleon Bonaparte In d...

violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination. Robert Frost It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful. Sylvester Stallone There was splendid fighting on the part of the division on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. There was no faltering or hesitation. Each man went to work determined to carry anything in reason. John Buford The leadership lost its nerve. Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement... they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half. Andrew Greeley Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less like to believe of himself. Fanny Brice Art is the most inte...

feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him. Matthew Henry I saw the Nutcracker to be a dummy as I thought of its mouth moving like a nutcracker - and also find them pretty scary as they almost have a life of their own. Matthew Bourne By the time I became chairman and there was more of a feeling of urgency, there was a willingness to accept more forceful measures to try to deal with the inflation. Paul A. Volcker Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives. Jean-Paul Sartre The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change. Dick Wolf So he said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of on...

of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb. Umberto Eco On the morrow the horizon was covered with clouds- a thick and impenetrable curtain between earth and sky, which unhappily extended as far as the Rocky Mountains. It was a fatality! Jules Verne You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which 'clicks.' Florence Scovel Shinn I just did in my early twenties what most did when they were teenagers, being free and exploring and making mistakes, but I did it in France. I did it privately. Molly Ringwald There is a silence, the child of love, which expresses everything, and proclaims more loudly than the tongue is able to do. William Drummond Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternit...

ends meet. They're trying to find day care for their kids and elder care for their own parents. The Federal Government shouldn't add to their worries by not living up to its obligations. Barbara Mikulski I feel really good right now. It will really be a tough decision. It's so hard to give up what you love doing. Hanging up the boots will not be an easy thing to do. Hulk Hogan Eight years involved with the nuclear industry have taught me that when nothing can possible go wrong and every avenue has been covered, then is the time to buy a house on the next continent. Terry Pratchett Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

consortium. I think the whole sector of Foundations, potentially with government support, is promising - more than promising, I think, it's substantial. Mitch Kapor In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason. Heinrich Heine The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile. Bertrand Russell The artist finds, that the more he can confine his attention to a particular part of any work, his productions are the more perfect, and grow under his hands in the greater quantities. Adam Ferguson We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves. Marilyn Manson The horse's neck is between the two rein...

U.S. does very well. That dynamism alongside a welfare state in the European community - that's the synthesis I want to achieve. Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero When I came to England at the very beginning of commercial television it was easy for me because I was only doing one or two shows a week at most. It was really a holiday. Richard Lester Captain Fisher, the commander, with a party of young ladies from the city and gentlemen belonging to his ship, came one day to pay me a visit in the midst of a deluge of rain. Joshua Slocum We now witness the constructive work on a foundation that will endure through the ages. That foundation is the god of science - revealed to us in terms that will harmonize with our intelligence. John Fiske Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong. Muhammad Ali I do really crazy things all the time, but I can't think of anything offhand. Casper Van Dien...

thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories. Eric Brown Throughout its history, the international Olympic Committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding. Juan Antonio Samaranch I read the book with interest, but when Jackson was a candidate in 1828 for the Presidency, I opposed him and voted for Adams. I favored a protective tariff. Ezra Cornell Here is my theory on this one. If you write things down, if there is a mystery and you try and explain it, once you've written it down for permanent, in due time, it'll be proven stupid. Joey Santiago Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience. Jon Bon Jovi The higher the general average of intelligence, all things else being equal, the less the disposition to be m...

not a statement about what I think anybody else should be doing. For me, it's an interesting tension between interior and exterior. Marilyn Hacker I'm really convinced that our descendants a century or two from now will look back at us with the same pity that we have toward the people in the field of science two centuries ago. John Templeton At our college we were taught a universal approach to find out about a person: what problems the person has, what difficulties, what personal tendencies and likings. Markus Wolf I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned. Tim Roth Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse. Robert W. Service Fun wouldn't be the right word... it was the most difficult, challenging, physical, ...

1952 - boy, it's been a long corner. If I don't hit the bigtime in the next 25 or 30 years, I'm gonna pack in the music business and become a full-time gigolo. Ronnie Hawkins Before children, even the most cynical people throw down their usual masks and become capable of feeling the purity and love which all human beings seek. Sun Myung Moon The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened. Tom Wolfe Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them. Terry Pratchett My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong. Mark Hoppus As I get older I seem to believe less and less and yet to belie...

you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts. Michael Ende I wouldn't want to criticise someone like Charlotte Church because she has done fantastically well, but personally I've always cared about the long term. Lesley Garrett A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties. Karl Marx If a woman did not work and have the opportunity to save and invest on her own throughout her lifetime, she is often totally reliant on her family and Social Security for her retirement years. Ginny Brown-Waite I grew up mostly with classical, big band, and a lot of Irish music - I really didn't start listening to rock and roll until I was maybe sixteen.

counterterrorism problem involve other parts of the national security community - especially other elements of the Department of Defense, State, FBI, Homeland Security and the staff. John Poindexter You learnt that, whatever you are doing in life, obstacles don't matter very much. Pain or other circumstances can be there, but if you want to do a job bad enough, you'll find a way to get it done. Jack Youngblood You fall into my arms. You are the good gift of destruction's path, When life sickens more than disease. And boldness is the root of beauty. Which draws us together. Boris Pasternak Death is not only an unusually severe punishment, unusual in its pain, in its finality and in its enormity, but is serves no penal purpose more effectively than a less severe punishment. William J. Brennan, Jr. Decency must be an even more exhausting state to maintain than its opposite. Those who succeed seem to need a stupefying amount of sleep. Quentin Crisp All of the wom...

the difference is in a chord, but I can't figure the name of it. It's a different chord, and they all make it. Jimmy Rushing As far as I am concerned, the first episode of Buffy was the beginning of my career. It was the first time I told a story from start to finish the way I wanted. Joss Whedon I've been a vegetarian for so long, I forgot how much I missed meat. You know you don't realize how important meat is to you until you don't have it for long time. Brittany Daniel No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

Steven Gerrard The way to do research is to attack the facts at the point of greatest astonishment. Celia Green As a male writer, women are always what men ...

Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future. Lewis B. Smedes Do not suppose, dearest Sir, that I am so short-sighted as to destroy my life by English preaching, or any other preaching. St. Paul did much good by his preaching, but how much more by his writings. Henry Martyn The stubbornness I had as a child has been transmitted into perseverance. I can let go but I don't give up. I don't beat myself up about negative things. Phylicia Rashad Johnny Mercer was my father's best friend and became mine as well. And Harold Arlen, whom I would call Uncle Harry, and Harry Warren: those were ones who I really became close to. Margaret Whiting In America, the race goes to the loud, the solemn, the hustler.

Maggie Smith We believe we've got the skill base and the techniques to supply the chips that really enable the end manufacturers to develop exciting, innovative products themselves. David Milne Oscar Wilde said the rich and the poor are equal - they can both sleep under the bridge. Right? Do they have a right? You're damn right they have a right! Al Lewis If we'd have said we were not upset, they would have thought we were so rich it meant nothing to us, and if we say we're upset about it, they'll say money is all we care about. John Bonham We... are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant. Charley Reese Our universities and museums are respected around the country. Jane Byrne George W. Bush bought the election - period. End of story. There is no argument. Yo...

Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. Pope Paul VI I have no qualifications to do anything else and there weren't any formal application forms you had to fill in for stand-up, so I thought I'd give that a twist.

Cindy Crawford Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door. Kyle Chand...
